On this episode of Mouth-Off we are discussing EYE + MATTER, a Heritage Lottery Funded project that happened between February 2020 – February 2022. The project was conceived by TY GWYN SPECIAL SCHOOL in Cardiff in partnership with FORGET-ME-NOT-PRODUCTIONS. It provided multiple opportunities for meaningful assistive technology experiences - interwoven with the arts to enable individuals with the most complex needs to share their own history.
This project had 13 key stakeholders: Ty Gwyn School, Maes Ebbw School, Trinity Fields School, Park Lane School, Ysgol Hen Felin, RCT Learning Curve (Gadlys Day Centre), Craig-y-Parc School, Jac Richards, Hayder Ali, Ashish Isaac, and Forget-Me-Not-Productions.
In this episode we will distilling the essence of EYE + MATTER, discussing how we utilised assistive technology and the arts as effective tools for learning about the heritage of this marginalised group. Participants seamlessly integrated their own stories and skills, with the history of assistive technology and the historic Craig-Y-Parc School. The overall ethos of the project promoted local heritage, while celebrating the history of a community that has remained in the margins.
Interviewees taking part in the podcast are Mel Saddler, Clare Evans-Lees, Lianne Stallard, Jac Richards, Brad Brunt, Rhys Evans, and Dr Carole Thornett.
